Ds was induced due to being 15 days over. DD was induced day before due date so what are chances of going naturally with db???

Nemo, that's entirely up to you!!!!!!!!!
If there is nothing wrong with you or baby then you can chose to wait until your labour starts on its own. They can't make you be induced!!!!! If you can bear the wait then do it. It's much better to let labour start on its own.
It's supposed to be the baby who decides when it's time to come out so it seems rather cruel to force it out if the are no medical grounds at the time.
All mine went 17 days over before they were baked enough. The labours and births were simple, quick and brilliant.
I would say HOLD ON, definitely.

Not much time but agree with everything Kittywits says. Baby will come when he/she wants to.

I couldn't agree more. If you were 15 days overdue with your DS then it's probably safe to say that you 'cook' your babies that little bit longer than average.

If you and the baby are doign well there is no reason to induce. You can be regularly monitored if you choose to be after a certain date, but if I were you, I'd definitely wait for labour to start naturally.

Something else to think about is.... Are you absolutely ure of your dates this time? Were you before? I mean LMP dates. Not scan dates. Was your cycle longer than average (28 days)before concieving? It can make a difference when estimating when baby will arrive that's all

thanks all

barmybinky am always sure of dates as am a bit of a funny one with all the ttc and knowing ov dates etc. I usually have a 35day cycle so do ov later on at day 19.
